Adhesive bonding to teeth of orthodontic brackets and the like

摘要

Orthodontic brackets and the like are adhesively secured to teeth by means of a self-curing thixotropic acrylic ester monomer composition wherein the monomer has been made thixotropic through the inclusion of fumed silane treated silica and wherein the acrylic ester monomer or monomers have two or more active acrylic ester groups, the thixotropic compositions prior to curing having a viscosity of about 85,000 cps to 4,385,000 cps.
